Blue grass makes the ideal early and late pasture, but it is rather difficult to get it set. It requires a firm seed-bed, and the seed needs plenty of moisture and soil warmth. Blue grass will readily crowd out other grasses, and will soon cover a field if it is allowed to seed itself.—Indiana Farmer. A Remarkable Cow. The world’s record milk production for a year by a single cow has been broken by the Guernsey, Dollie Bloom, according to the report of Secretary William H. Caldwell at the annual meeting of the Guernsey Cattle Club. Dollie Bloom's record for the year was 17,297 pounds, or about gallons. She is owned by F. A.

Barns Withcut Cellars. one of the farm meetings in Maine, after a professor from the West had given utterance to a vigorous tack on the manure cellar for dairy barns, Prof. G. M. Gowell, of the Maine station, quietly remarked that. Maine butter had been scored by experts high as ninety-eight, and that milk had kept sweet twenty days, There is no “best” is At at- as and al- ways kept sweet for seven days. Clean- liness, he said, was the watchword at he experiment tion dairy, and these results had been obtained in spite of the fact of the cellars.

Just which of these two methods best will. depend principally on what disposition is to be made ef the crop— that is, whether it is being grown for hay or seed, and whether or not cul- tivation of the crop is desired. When planted in drills, about three pecks of seed to the acre is required, and when broadcasted, about five pecks are need- 2d. The time for planting may vary somewhat from the midale of May until the first of July, or perhaps a lit- tle later, although the eof such planting will largely depend upon the subsequent conditions cof the SON. The soy bean is a het weather crop, ard cold, damp weather is not. the best for -its development. Maturity can be expected in from ole hundred to one hundred and fifty days, accord- ing to variety and growing conditions. Sowing in corn at the last plowing would hardly seem the bes: to us; but might prove a fair success.

Decidedly the best fertilizer that can be used is well rotted stable man- ure. In most cases where commercial fertilizers are used some manure should be used with it. It is important in fer- tilizing soil to improve its physical condition, as well as its chemical com- position. It should be made loose, so that the roots of plants may readily absorb the food it contains. For this purpose manures are unexcelled. The physical properties of soil have a larzednfluence on its fertility. The most common means of loss of fertil- ity is through leaching, or the mechan- ical washing away of nourishing prep- erties. Soils which have a large pro- porticn of clay are finely grained and compact, thus making it easy for the plant food they contain to be washed away. At the time the com- pactness frequently the ele- ments of fertility tenac against their use by plants. If a .commercial fertilizer is used it should be a mixture that gives a com- plete fertilizer, supplying all the ele- nents needed to muke rich soil. The commercial fertilizer is preferred {o manure for use on lawns, hecause af-its greater cleaniiness and the tact that it coniains no weeds Manure is fre- quently full of se=ds of weeds.

It well known fact that there are thousands of hens and hundreds of cows kept in every section of the world a financial loss, the result of care- less- methods, unsanitary houses and improper feeding. On the one hand a good profit is made from keeping hens, while on the other, considerable finan- cial loss is sustained. For these rea- sons we do not hesitate to state that every one living in the rural dis- tricts should keep as much poultry as they can look after in the right way, with the understanding that if ne- glected, they wiil prove a financial loss, but if properly cared for. and looked after, that they will be a bless- ing and 4d profitable investment to those who keep them The farm is the ideal poultry. . They should not, however, ye kept close to the back door, fed and cared for there, and allowed to dis- figure and disgrace the domicile of the family by running over, scratching, and feeding at the door-steps. Cows, hogs and sheep are not usually kept in this way, and poultry should not be. The poultry quarters should Le fenced off in a healthy well-drained locality, looked after and cared for to the most minute detail, and kept just as warm, dry and clean as the family cow. or the driving: horse. If there is one place in the world where the phrase “cleanliness is next to godli- ness,” it is in the poultry house. With- out cleanliness, proper sanitary condi- tions, and good care, there can not be any success in poultry growing. With it, success is assured. When for some is at place for the houses are neglected length of time, they are al- most certain to be overrun with in- sect vermin, which carry with them destruction, disease and failure. When this overconies, it can only be blamed to the negligence of the owner, or the one in charge; the blame should never rest with the poultry. Those who court success through good manage- eat, are almost certain to gain a from keeping poultry upon the iarm.—The Feather. poultry Strange Storms in Missouri. “The shower of fish whieh fell Sun- day afternoon, says W.
